Sorry, first bug report, so apologies in advance if I get it all wrong! VLC segfaults when I play a movie. So far, Matroska MKV and MP4 fail. It will successfully start with no gui in remote control interface mode. It will successfully play mp3 music files.

Can't reproduce in VLC 2.0.7 on ppc. Can you unmask 2.0.7 on your machine and see if it still happens? Maybe this is restricted to AMD64?
I have installed the git 9999 version and it's an improvement. It does not segfault but sits there... paully@thinkpad ~ $ vlc ~/Downloads/matroska_test_w1_1/test1.mkv VLC media player 2.1.0-pre1 Rincewind (revision 2.1.0-git-3-g06005e8) [0xbedef8] main interface error: no suitable interface module [0xb274a8] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed [0xb274a8] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

Can you try specifically with 2.0.7? -9999 would be the unstable branch which might have other issues.
(In reply to Sean McGovern from comment #4) > Can you try specifically with 2.0.7? -9999 would be the unstable branch > which might have other issues. I can confirm that version... VLC media player 2.0.7 Twoflower (revision 2.0.6-54-g7dd7e4d) ...has FIXED the issue. Videos now all WORK. Thank you for all your help. :-) PAULLY
